An October Apple Event Suddenly Looks Unlikely

Apple announced a new iPad mini with Apple Intelligence support, leading to speculation about the company's plans for an October event. Historically, Apple has held events in September and October, focusing on iPhones, Apple Watch, Mac, and iPad. However, with the announcement of the new iPad mini, the likelihood of an October event seems slim.

The rumored products expected in the coming weeks include:

• M4 MacBook Pro
• M4 Mac mini
• M4 iMac

Based on what is known about these upcoming devices, there may not be enough to merit hosting a full event. The MacBook Pros are not expected to have a redesign, and the focus of an October event would more likely be on Apple Intelligence rather than hardware updates.
